First steps with Your GP 1
4.1. Initializing the GPS system mode
Before using the GPS mode of your GP 1 for the first time, the GPS receiver needs to determine its
new location automatically. GP 1 must initialize each time when You have travelled to a distant
location with Your switched-off GPS handheld. At the first time, after unpacking the GP 1, this
procedure may take some minutes. Later initializing procedures will be shorter. This is normal and
cannot be avoided.
4.2. Watching satellite acquisition on the GPS STANDBY page
Your GMR-GPS unit operates on positional data acquired from NAVSTAR
satellites.
To introduce Your unit to this information:
•
Find a large, relatively open area that provides a clear view of the sky,
with a minimum of obstructions, such as buildings, radio towers, etc.
•
Press and hold the Power/Mark (M) button on the left side of the unit for
at least 2 seconds .
A beep will sound and the standby screen will appear on the LCD. This screen
will automatically enter the RADIO + GPS mode (default mode).The GP 1needs
to receive at least three strong satellite signals to find your location.
The standby page graphically shows the unit acquiring satellites as the satellite
icons around the globe circumference become animated and darken.
SEARCHING appears under the ID bar at the top of the display. When you see
NAVIGATION appear, your GMR-GPS has found your location and you are
ready to use all of its GPS/radio capabilities.
If the unit is
NAVIGATION, each of the satellites providing current GPS user
location should be highlighted, and should equal or exceed 3 as shown around
the circumference of the globe icon (4 or more is preferable). If the unit is
SEARCHING , wait approximately 5 minutes for the satellite(s) to find your
position. The NAVIGATION indication should appear.
Thereafter, during subsequent GPS operation, acquisition time should only take
from 5 to 45 seconds.
Note: Please be aware that the position data shown on the display are only correct, as long as
NAVIGATION appears on the display. After switching on the units, the display will initially show the
last measured location data, but always the “ SEARCHING ” indicates that the unit is still acquiring new
position data. Never trust position data as long as SEARCHING still appears.
